We serve in 683 places across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater right across the region, from The Mint to Chichester (15 miles away).

When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. We offer dairy-free options.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain does not usually stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Step by step
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. Christmas markets in The Mint trade in the dark from about 4:00pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
